Environmental Chemistry Lecture Notes by Asoka Marasinghe

This lecture note is an introduction to key environmental chemistry topics. It begins with the composition of the atmosphere and pollutants responsible for environmental degradation. The topics discussed include the Chapman cycle, protection of the ozone layer, and the seasonal depletion of ozone in Antarctica. Principles of combustion, alternative fuels, and the role of water in environmental sustainability are also covered in it. This occupies a good part of the note-writing; acid rain, and its impact on the environment. It is basically important reading to those students who wish to link chemistry with environmental protection.

Environmental chemistry by NPTEL

Environmental chemistry by NPTEL

This NPTEL online lecture series will go through an in-depth discussion on environmental chemistry, especially with respect to atmospheric composition, the behavior of contaminants, and natural degradation pathways. Lectures cover control techniques in air pollution, the major sources of water pollution, and the processes of water treatment. In addition, the lecture deals with soil pollution: its causes, effects, and remedial measures. Special attention is accorded to contaminants and their interactions with the environment, so this is a great book for students and researchers alike, interested in knowing the influence of chemical processes on the environment and how these can be abated through technological and chemical means.

Chemicals in the Environment Toxicology and Public Health

This note tackles the very complex issue of the relationship between environmental chemicals and human health. It explores epidemiological approaches to disease causation, biostatistical methods for evaluating chemical exposure, and the effects of chemical reactions within the body. The content covers risk assessment techniques used in the U.S. for regulatory decision-making and public health policy. It is a must for students in the fields of toxicology, environmental health, and public health: it offers a challenging examination of interactions between environmental chemicals and human biology and the approaches used to evaluate and counteract their risks.
